Quarter read
What the record says.
Britannia reported near double-digit revenue growth of 9.8% YoY to INR 4,535 crore, driven by pricing actions and a 12% transaction growth. PAT grew 3% YoY, impacted by a INR 52 crore SAR revaluation charge. Management highlighted strong momentum in the Hindi belt (2.7x growth vs other states) and adjacency businesses like rusk, croissants, and wafers. Premium product salience improved by 310 bps. Commodity inflation (palm oil +45% YoY, cocoa +35%) has been largely mitigated via price increases, and management expects stable margins ahead. Risks include potential resurgence of regional competition and execution challenges in the East due to distribution restructuring. Guidance points to sustained revenue momentum and margin stability, with capex kept tight at ~INR 100 crore.
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management expects the gap between volume and revenue growth to persist at 6-8% for the next two to three quarters as pricing benefits continue.
- Capital expenditure for the full year is planned at around INR 100 crore, significantly lower than prior years, given adequate capacity.
- With commodity prices stabilizing and price increases fully implemented, management expects gross margins to improve from Q1 levels.
Risks flagged
- Higher industry margins are attracting regional players, which could pressure market share and pricing in specific territories.
- The shift to mega distributors in the East caused market share loss; recovery depends on successful change management.
- Volume growth was only ~2% in Q1, lower than some peers; management attributed it to pricing, but sustained low volume could signal demand weakness.
- A INR 52 crore charge from SAR revaluation hit PAT; future stock price movements could cause further volatility in reported earnings.
Key quotes
- The Tiger always takes two steps backwards before it launches itself. We are in that position where we've taken those two steps backward and now we are in the position to launch ourselves.
- We've been able to create a war chest for ourselves to be able to spend if we need to, in specific territories, specific states against specific players.
- The delta between volume and revenue will remain at about 6%, 7%, 8% for the coming two or three quarters.
